Alpinestars Casual ClothingEarly review which i’ll update once I’ve had more use of the helmet.
Expensive lid but you get what you pay for right? Absolutely stunning to look at, fits like a well fitting glove. The nice guys at SBS Norwich kindly installed the Cardo Pack talk Pro wiring/speakers etc so I’ve comms on it now. Viability is great through the visor.
A very high standard of helmet here but there is nothing more important to protect than your head is there so money well spent
Alpinestars Hurricane Rain V2 Trousers - Black They do they job but all the reflective stickers and logos started peeling off after a couple of uses. They still work, but they're now plain black with no reflective bits.
Alpinestars Victory Aramid Fibre Denim Jeans - Rinse Blue I like everything about these: they fit well, good temperature range (not winter, but anything above about 12 ºC is OK) and they seem very good quality.
I can't fit boots under them, really, but if I could they'd be all flappy. You can't have everything!
Alpinestars SP-3 Leather Gloves - Black / Bright Red / White Good quality. Great fit
Alpinestars Austral Gore-Tex Boots - Black Dark Grey Very comfortable boots, could wear them all day. Would recommend trying before buying as im usually a size 8 and had to get the 9.5. Not used in the rain but did use them at 4 degrees and my feet were nice and warm.
Alpinestars Ageless Web Belt - Black / Black This is a really poor quality belt for the price. The buckle feels like it has been stamped out of tin foil.
Alpinestars Nucleon Flex Pro Chest Protector Insert - Anthracite It wasn't obvious that the Alpinestars GP Force Airflow Jacket accepts these chest protectors. The pockets are well hidden!
Access is via the inside zip at the bottom of the jacket, this allows you to reach up inside and feel your way to the chest protector pockets.
The size L chest protectors fit the jacket in size 42.
They're slim, so add minimal bulk to the jacket overall, and seem like good value for the extra protection they should provide. Hopefully I'll never do a real-world test of their protective capabilities.
